This study intends to explore Moroccan English pre-service teachers’ experience with using cell phones during their internships. Nineteen instructors were picked at random from the Rabat CRMEF (Regional Center for Education and Training Professions). Interviews were conducted with all nineteen participants. The results displayed that trainees’ preconception on the complexity of using smartphones may affect their tendency on employing this mobile tool as an instructional medium. The findings also revealed that pre-service teachers are not ready to integrate smartphones in EFL classrooms due to the lack of ICT training, distractions that smartphones bring about, and schools’ policies banning the use of this gadget.

This study deals with the integration of ICT in preschool settings and the use of interactive applications with an emphasis on music education. Music in early childhood has been shown to enhance children's all-around development and helps them to cultivate basic skills. At the same time, the use of ICT is now so well established in everyday life that most preschool children become familiar with these tools, which are introduced by the public system, even in preschool education. A review of the theory and literature on this subject shows that there is indeed development in the creation of such curricula for pre-schoolers and their applications appear to have positive effects.
